Default Cooling Duct foglights

Anyone ever tried this? Like the foglights on the new Hellcat Challenger. I have raxiom halo fogs and thought this would be kind of cool to do.

I can't find the picture I'm thinking of, I saw it on instagram. There is a Boss 302 floating around that has twin turbos and each intake is through the fogs. Also, you can just do this.



With our cars, you'll have to fab something up. Might look kinda janky to just have the open holes. I do like the look of them. I suppose you could see about getting a set of those lights from the challenger and see if you can make them work.

I see what you're saying but I figure with the halos it wouldn't look AS janky lol

What exactly are you wanting to cool by having ducts behind the headlights? Brakes, air intake, radiator, localized spots in the engine bay? Seems like a lot of plumbing for little benefit.

Problem is the fact that you'd have to make an immediate 90 degree turn if you had a duct there to clear the radiator, which would really limit airflow.

Agent 47 makes a brake duct kit for the Shelby GT or the GT/CS front end.

Those look good. I plan to run a drivers side duck running fresh air up to my cai area. It wont be a sealed system just a hose that empies right near the filter. I have a roush front bumper so there is a opening thats perfect for this. I plan to monitor my AIT's with my aeroforce gauge to see if it has any effect on the temps. It may do nothing or it may help....parts only cost me $15. Worth the effort.

Good luck, please keep us posted on how it works.

I wanted to do something like this by drilling out the lower front fascia and modifying some kind of a flange to fit it, and then running a brake duct (or similar) to the opening below the air filter. But they give you precious little room to do that, and it's tough to see what you're doing up inside the fenderwell (plus there's very little to attach to)
